      IB/uverbs: Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modules · f7c6a7b5
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
      control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
      rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
      low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.
      
      Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
      ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
      ib_uverbs.
      
      This has a number of advantages:
       - It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
         library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
         the details of specific devices dictate.
       - Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
         need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get().  For
         example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
         the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
         use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
       - Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
         the low-level driver.  For example, it may be possible to solve
         some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
         userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
       - Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
         other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
         of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method.  For
         example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
         and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
         memory key for these buffers.  So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
         to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.

      IB: Add CQ comp_vector support · f4fd0b22
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      Add a num_comp_vectors member to struct ib_device and extend
      ib_create_cq() to pass in a comp_vector parameter -- this parallels
      the userspace libibverbs API.  Update all hardware drivers to set
      num_comp_vectors to 1 and have all ULPs pass 0 for the comp_vector
      value.  Pass the value of num_comp_vectors to userspace rather than
      hard-coding a value of 1.
      
      We want multiple CQ event vector support (via MSI-X or similar for
      adapters that can generate multiple interrupts), but it's not clear
      how many vectors we want, or how we want to deal with policy issues
      such as how to decide which vector to use or how to set up interrupt
      affinity.  This patch is useful for experimenting, since no core
      changes will be necessary when updating a driver to support multiple
      vectors, and we know that we want to make at least these changes
      anyway.

      IB/uverbs: Return correct error for invalid PD in register MR · aaf1aef5
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      If no matching PD is found in ib_uverbs_reg_mr(), then the function
      jumps to err_release without setting the return value ret.  This means
      that ret will hold the return value of the call to ib_umem_get() a few
      lines earlier; if the function reaches the point where it looks for
      the PD, we know that ib_umem_get() must have returned 0, so
      ib_uverbs_reg_mr() ends up return 0 for a bad PD ID.  Fix this by
      setting ret to -EINVAL before jumping to the exit path when no PD is
      found.

      IB: Return qp pointer as part of ib_wc · 062dbb69
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      struct ib_wc currently only includes the local QP number: this matches
      the IB spec, but seems mostly useless. The following patch replaces
      this with the pointer to qp itself, and updates all low level drivers
      and all users.
      
      This has the following advantages:
      - Ability to get a per-qp context through wc->qp->qp_context
      - Existing drivers already have the qp pointer ready in poll cq, so
        this change actually saves a tiny bit (extra memory read) on data path
        (for ehca it would actually be expensive to find the QP pointer when
        polling a CQ, but ehca does not support SRQ so we can leave wc->qp as
        NULL for ehca)
      - Users that need the QP number can still get it through wc->qp->qp_num
      
      Use case:
      
      In IPoIB connected mode code, I have a common CQ shared by multiple
      QPs.  To track connection usage, I need a way to get at some per-QP
      context upon the completion, and I would like to avoid allocating
      context object per work request just to stick a QP pointer into it.
      With this code, I can just use wc->qp->qp_context.

      IB/uverbs: Don't serialize with ib_uverbs_idr_mutex · 9ead190b
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      Currently, all userspace verbs operations that call into the kernel
      are serialized by ib_uverbs_idr_mutex.  This can be a scalability
      issue for some workloads, especially for devices driven by the ipath
      driver, which needs to call into the kernel even for datapath
      operations.
      
      Fix this by adding reference counts to the userspace objects, and then
      converting ib_uverbs_idr_mutex into a spinlock that only protects the
      idrs long enough to take a reference on the object being looked up.
      Because remove operations may fail, we have to do a slightly funky
      two-step deletion, which is described in the comments at the top of
      uverbs_cmd.c.
      
      This also still leaves ib_uverbs_idr_lock as a single lock that is
      possibly subject to contention.  However, the lock hold time will only
      be a single idr operation, so multiple threads should still be able to
      make progress, even if ib_uverbs_idr_lock is being ping-ponged.
      
      Surprisingly, these changes even shrink the object code:

      [IB] uverbs: Close some exploitable races · 63c47c28
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      Al Viro pointed out that the current IB userspace verbs interface
      allows userspace to cause mischief by closing file descriptors before
      we're ready, or issuing the same command twice at the same time.  This
      patch closes those races, and fixes other obvious problems such as a
      module reference leak.
      
      Some other interface bogosities will require an ABI change to fix
      properly, so I'm deferring those fixes until 2.6.15.

      Make sure that userspace does not retrieve stale asynchronous or · 63aaf647
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      completion events after destroying a CQ, QP or SRQ.  We do this by
      sweeping the event lists before returning from a destroy calls, and
      then return the number of events already reported before the destroy
      call.  This allows userspace wait until it has processed all events
      for an object returned from the kernel before it frees its context for
      the object.
      
      The ABI of the destroy CQ, destroy QP and destroy SRQ commands has to
      change to return the event count, so bump the ABI version from 1 to 2.
      The userspace libibverbs library has already been updated to handle
      both the old and new ABI versions.
